Excursion Ocean-to-table fishing & dining experience tour at Klawock

From the pier, a short walk takes you — and up to five other avid anglers — to the departure point for your private fishing adventure. Meet your captain and get settled aboard a comfortable, heated, six-passenger vessel equipped with suspension seats and a spacious back deck. Here, you’ll be provided with all the necessary fishing gear. As you set sail in Southeast Alaska’s world-renowned waters, keep your eyes peeled for humpback whales, orcas, sea otters, and bald eagles. Cast your line for Pacific salmon (in season) and bottom species like halibut, rockfish, and lingcod at prime locations. After your successful catch, cruise to secluded lodge on Prince of Wales Island, where you can relax indoors or outdoors, depending on the weather, while your chef prepares a delicious meal using your catch. Savor an appetizer, side dishes, and a delightful dessert while taking in the stunning views of Port Saint Nicholas. Enriched by your day's adventure, make your return journey to the pier.

The maximum capacity for the boat is six passengers. Minimum age to participate is 14. This excursion is not recommended for guests with limited mobility or those who utilize a wheelchair. It involves about three hours in a fishing boat that has a cabin but the deck is open to the elements. Guests with medical conditions, or prone to motion sickness, should be aware that rough waters may be encountered at times. Guests should wear nonskid shoes and dress in warm layers; the outer layer should be windproof and waterproof. A catch is likely, but is not guaranteed. A king salmon stamp ($15 per person) should be purchased in advance of your tour if you plan to target or retain this species.

Silver salmon fishing starts around the beginning of July and runs through the end of August. Bottom fishing is done by jigging bait off the ocean floor, typically in 100 to 300 feet of water, while the boat is at anchor or drifting in one area. Each person has use of their own rod and reel while fishing. Fish caught is eaten at the lodge. Any additional catch can be processed and shipped home for an additional charge as arranged by the tour operator. Because of its perishable nature and U.S. Customs regulations, your catch may not be sent outside of the United States. Due to federal regulations, your catch may not be brought back to your cruise ship.
